In the eventuality of any such loss, we would put in best efforts to retrieve the lost documents. However, if the lost documents cannot be retrieved, we would render assistance in obtaining duplicate copies or certified copies of those documents from the concerned authorities.

Please take note that if you are flying, you may transit through different countries for which there may be change in visa requirements such as multiple entry visa or a transit visa. It shall be your responsibility / liability to ensure issuance of the necessary / proper visa.

Step 12

VISA

It is necessary for you to ensure that you have the appropriate passport, which is valid for at least six months from the date of return of your tour or as applicable. For guests travelling to Malaysia, please ensure that the minimum validity of the passport should be at least 9 months after your date of return to India. Furthermore, you will be required to take the appropriate visa for going on the tour.

We provide you visa guidance services for which we will charge you. Such charges may or may not include the actual Visa charge and costs incurred but will include our service charge. However, it excludes any supplementary charges like courier fees, urgent fees charged by the Consulate. Please note that UK and USA visa will have to be obtained by you directly; however we may assist you without any liability or accountability, in preparing and submitting the visa application based on documents provided by you. Even if your visa is rejected /or you get your visa later than the departure date, you shall be liable to pay the applicable charges. If you already possess a visa or wish to do the visa / s on your own, you would be entitled only for the refund of actual visa / s cost. The portion of charges attributable to our service charges will still have to be paid by you.

It is your responsibility to promptly furnish to us all documents required for application of your visa etc. latest 90 days before the departure date. It is your responsibility to properly fill in the visa application form. In fact, in the current scenario it would be far more prudent to furnish all documents at least four months before the departure date. Given the security concerns and the cautious approach adopted by Embassies and Consulates, visa processing can take quite long. Please note that we may receive / accept documents submitted late but we are not responsible or liable for rejection or non-receipt of visa due to inadequate or late submissions. You are required to furnish only genuine and valid documentation.

Granting / rejection of visa is the sole discretion of Embassy / Consulate. We only act as a facilitator for obtaining visa. You may be required at your cost to appear personally before the Embassy / Consulate for any interview(s) / providing biometrics. The Company shall under no circumstances be held liable / responsible for such rejection of visa and any other incidental or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense etc. Expressly on the aforesaid conditions, you have approached the Company for facilitating your visa.

We would not be liable / responsible in any manner whatsoever for any clerical error made by the concerned Embassy / Consulate regarding the name, attachment of wrong photograph, duration and type of visa (single / multiple entry) or passport number etc.

We always use services of reputed courier companies for the purpose of transmission of passports to the Embassies/ Consulates and to our clients in various cities. We will not be liable / responsible for any loss or damage whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport or documents in the course of transmission of documents by us to the Embassy or to you or in the course of transmission of documents by the Embassy / Consulate to us. We would however, make best attempts to trace your documents or assist you in obtaining alternative / certified copies of the lost documents.

If you are unable to travel on the tour originally booked by you because either you could not get your visa in time or due to an error of the part of the Embassy / Consulate or an incorrect visa is issued to you, you shall have the option to postpone your tour to any other future date or transfer your tour to any other tour and in which case the amendment fee for the same shall apply in addition to cancellation charges along with GST of 18%. Terms & Conditions shall apply.

Please note that if the rejection of visa is intimated by the Embassy / Consulate within the cancellation period specified in the section titled CANCELLATION OF BOOKING BY YOU then the cancellation charges as appearing in that section along with GST of 18% would apply. Please further note that for the purpose of ascertaining the applicable cancellation rates, the cancellation would be deemed to have been made on the date we receive intimation of visa rejection from the Consulate / Embassy. Should you choose to re-apply after visa rejection, then you shall do so at your own risk and cost. If the visa is rejected a second time, the applicable cancellation rates shall be based on the date of receipt of intimation of the rejection of second visa application and so the charges will be much higher than the rates which would have applied on the first rejection. Should we not receive any intimation from the Consulate / Embassy either accepting or rejecting a visa application before the departure date of your tour, the maximum cancellation charges along with GST of 18% shall apply. It is made clear that the cancellation charges along with GST of 18% shall apply in addition to the retention of visa service charges.

In such a situation, the Company suffers losses because, sometimes, cancellation is made at a time of holiday rush like trade fairs, special events and the suppliers such as hotels, cruises, airlines etc. have 100% cancellation charges.

Under the circumstances, you agree not to proceed legally against us unless there is a manifest error from our end.

Step 13

We shall in no circumstances whatsoever be liable / responsible to you or any person travelling with you, for loss of baggage by the airline, failure to provide meal of your choice by the airline, denied boarding or down-gradation due to overbooking or any other reason, failure on the part of the airline to accommodate you despite having confirmed tickets, quality or quantity of meals offered by the airlines, flight delays or rescheduling, flight cancellation, changes of flight schedule or routing, change of airline mentioned at the time of booking etc. In these circumstances, we will not be liable / responsible for the injury, loss, cost or inconvenience suffered by you but you will be free to pursue your remedies against the concerned airline.

BAGGAGE ON AIRLINE:

Airlines have restrictions on the kind of baggage, number and weight of baggage that you can carry and you will need to carefully read and understand the rules and regulations of the airline, in this regard. Hence you must refer to the concerned airline's luggage rules and regulations. It is suggested that you carry one trolley bag and one hand bag for better mobility. Typically, weight restrictions on baggage for Economy Class is 20 Kg, for Business Class 30 kg and for First Class is 40 kg and 1 hand bag (cabin luggage) having dimensions of 115 linear cms. and not exceeding 7 kg per person except for flights to USA and Canada, where the passengers are permitted to carry 2 pieces of checked-in baggage and 1 hand bag. In the case of low cost carriers that are used by the Company during the tour, the permitted baggage allowance may be lower than what is mentioned above.
Baggage is not included for internal flights in USA. One needs to pay for every piece of baggage checked in. The charges vary from USD 25 to USD 35 per bag. Please check with your sales staff for correct details.
Please note that every airline has a different set of rules and regulations regarding the weight restrictions and furthermore, airlines keep changing the rules quite frequently. Hence, you are requested to please check the updated baggage rules of the individual airlines, with whom the ticket is booked.
We are not liable / responsible in any manner if you are unable to carry any baggage or if you have to pay any extra charges due to restrictions imposed by the airline.

The Company will not refund any unused portion of air tickets purchased in the event of such delays or due to any reasons beyond its direct control.

It is your responsibility / liability to furnish all documents required by the Company for application of visa etc. We are mere facilitators for providing visa guidance services. In the event the application for the visa made by you or the Company on your behalf is rejected or delayed by the concerned Embassy or Authorities due to inadequate documents furnished by the applicant or due to any other reason whatsoever, the Company shall not be liable or responsible for the same.

We would not be responsible / liable for any loss or damage whether direct, incidental or consequential caused due to transmission delays or loss of passport whether in transit or otherwise. The documents forwarded by you for visa purpose are sent by us to the concerned Embassy / Consulate through third parties and hence we would not be liable / responsible for loss of your documents.

In the event that you are unable to travel on the tour date originally booked by you, due to rejection of visa by the concerned Embassy, you shall have the option to postpone your tour to any other future date or choose any other tour destination subject to cancellation charges of the previous tour along with GST of 18%.
